A custodial symmetry for Zbb
read the original abstract
We show that a subgroup of the custodial symmetry O(3) that protects delta rho from radiative corrections can also protect the Zbb coupling. This allows one to build models of electroweak symmetry breaking, such as Higgsless, Little Higgs or 5D composite Higgs models, that are safe from corrections to Z-> bb. We show that when this symmetry protects Zbb it cannot simultaneously protect Ztt and Wtb. Therefore one can expect to measure sizable deviations from the SM predictions of these couplings at future collider experiments. We also show under what circumstances Zb_R b_R can receive corrections in the right direction to explain the anomaly in the LEP/SLD forward-backward asymmetry A^b_{FB}.

Composite top partners in exotic colour representations
Colour-sextet top partners in composite Higgs models are excluded up to 2-2.5 TeV by current LHC data via top-rich decays, with HL-LHC reach near 3 TeV.
